Hi friends, it's been quite a while since I'm not here. I've been busy with my work and have no time to stay long here but anyway right now i have found a time to even post one or two.
Ok here is the situation, sometime in our life we encountered some difficult situation that we really need to make a big decision or even choose. Now the situation is like this, You love very much this guy/girl and your parents didn't like him/her. What you would choose the most- the one you love very much (i mean the guy/girl) or your parents? Support your answer.
Let see your point of view about this, because for me as my experience its really difficult to choose especially if both of them are the people i love the most.

I experienced this situation with my first bf, my parents didn't like him because their family's bad reputation when it comes to women plus I was still studying that time (college) and my parents don't want any distractions. I'm the eldest of 3 and the only daughter so as expected everybody in my family including my uncles & aunts are very protective of me. Our relationship was "you and me" against the world that time with my family but it's the opposite in his family they all loved me. I did fight for our relationship, I defended him to my parents and of course my family got mad at me. I loved him that time and he proved that he's worth fighting for. We were together for almost 4 yrs, during those yrs my family learned to like him and accept him. But unfortunately it didn't work out between us.
I know I've hurt my parents especially my mother during those yrs that I disobeyed them. But I will never regret what I did for those yrs.
Your family will always be there for you no matter what happens. They may not always agree to every decisions you make, but they'll understand it when they see the whole picture. When it comes to relationship, esp marriage, marry the person you love and that makes you happy and not the person whom your parents want you to marry and makes you unhappy. Your happiness is what's important and when they see you're happy they'll be happy for you.
I love my family and I will always will. But there's a certain point in your life that you have to take risk and you have your own priorities, like when you get married, your family will no longer be the 1st priority but your marriage. Hope this helps. Take care and goodluck.
cheers! :D

Well I have been in this situation, however my parents never forced me to choose. I belive that a person that forces you 2 choose does not really love you.
I had a guy for 4 year that my parents really dislikes - at the verge of hating him... BUT they put up with him because of me - but they always told me that they wanted something betterf for me and so on.
In the end they were right, and I am glad that they never had me to choose...

I think that is a difficult situation. My future in-laws didn't like me, so if my future husband had chose them over me, then I would not be married for so many years now. They didn't want him to have a working wife, but my fure husband husband didn't think that was a good reason to not like me. I think each person should do what is best for them. I have been married almost 30 years now.

I will choose the boy/girl. Parents are often like those 'stupid' boys/girls. They dress common clothes and have a stable job which they dislike, but they don't want to make a change.
I like personal boys and girls, so I will do my own choice, becasue he will live with me,not my parents for a long time. Gradually, my parents must accept him.

I know that parents always said that they always want the best for their children. But into a relationship at a young age, I believe that parents has the right to control their children since they know that teenagers are very uncontrolled with their emotion. But if you are already old enough to handle a relationship with a stable job to consider, it is your right to choose whom you want to spend with for the rest of your life. It is very important to spend your lifetime with somebody that you cared most and loved so much than getting into a relationship whom your parents has the one who choose for you. Of course, with normal reaction parents will be upset but parents will still understand and i always believed that no matter what we do against them they are still our parents and they are always there to support their children. If you are having difficulty in choosing talk to your parents. Having open communication with your parents I assure you that there is no difficulty in choosing.

Right now, if I were to choose between them, I’ll choose my parents of course. A person who makes me choose between him and my parents is selfish, don’t want to understand your life and is not patient – whatever he’s up to in your relationship. Why would you even choose someone like that? My parents taught me how not to be selfish, understanding and patient to whatever trials may come on my way. And they’re the reason why I reach this stage of my life. they mold me all throughout.
